The experience of higher education in the UK has become an increasingly common phenomenon in the 21st century. This book explores the emotional and moral significance of the relationships young women develop at university, such as friends, family and housemates, by using a seven-year qualitative longitudinal study of the transitional period.

Kirsty Finn is Lecturer in the Department of Social Sciences at Edge Hill University, UK. She has previously taught at Teesside University, UK and the University of Manchester, UK.
